Question

A person takes up 24 inches of space on a stadium bleacher. If one row of bleachers is 150 feet long and there are 20 rows of bleachers, how many people can fit into the stands?

Answer 1

Answer:

1,500 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

$1\ ft= 12\ in$

Convert ft to in

$150\ ft=150*12=1,800\ in$

Divide the length of a row by the space occupied by one person

$1,800/24=75\ persons$

Multiply by the number of rows to determine the total people that can fit into the stands

$75(20)=1,500\ people$
